Oh the mistakes I've made...

I've finally got a break from that awesome job I recently took in order to have more free time. I've been working 15-20 hours extra a week...wait a minute...there's a problem. That was NOT the plan. So I feel inclined to give you all some free and mostly worthless advice. Are you paying attention? Here goes:

When you realize you may have made a mistake, go ahead and un-make the mistake if possible.

Pride is the one thing that is NOT going to keep me off my bike this summer! This new gig is either feast or famine. Working like a dog is awesome because it keeps you in the greenbacks...but this motorcycle riding blogger would rather be kept on the roads or trails, crashing through life one funny motorcycle story at a time. So I'm re-evaluating again. Yep. Silly me. It will all work out and if not, I have a fall back plan. Anyone have enough money to support me and my dog? I don't do laundry but I can cook a killer rack of ribs. You wouldn't even have to meet me. Just send cash. (Wow, I just wrote the best singles ad ever! I'll have to make sure the men aren't lining up on my doorstep!)

The good news is I've got some time to kill this next week. I was going to take the cover off Runkle and ride like the wind...but this is what Oregon is currently greeting me with:

Anyone wanna ride in the storm? Not me.

I'm all about riding in any weather but I do not want my maiden voyage in months to include a downpour that will require me to wear a life jacket. The sun is trying...pushing and pulling...and failing miserably. Pretty soon I'll have to just risk it. I won't melt. I may drown, but I won't melt.

My Blog List

Wet Trout

This blog is named after my dog Trout, who is often wet...and ironically, a wet trout is a fisherman's term that means "to smack a person with a fresh trout for being an idiot" and I'm often an idiot.

In addition to being an idiot, I'm a certified BBQ judge who enjoys traveling, writing, ghost hunting, motorcycles, Glamping in my RV, floating the river and kayaking, hiking, fishing, and spending time with my furball. I'm sarcastic, witty, over-educated, and quite possibly the most annoying person you'll ever meet. Welcome to my world.
